When they find the lab and its single occupant, Atom Loquacious, danger and passion start steaming up. Everybody's got a secret. Captain Rose is secretly too ethical to complete this job. Gabriella's secretly attracted to Atom. Madam Ruby's secretly hungry for power. And the secret Atom is hiding might just threaten the lives of everyone on board.

Spotted this this latest trailer of Les aventures extraordinaires d'Adèle Blanc-Sec directed by Luc Besson with English subtitles at SciFi Guy. It is jam-packed with more action and we, English-speakers, can understand a bit more of what is going on.

Death is the only path that leads to birth.
-so says Adele




a newly hatched pterodactyl
a French-speaking mummy
